[Wine] what is winetricks?

[Douglas A. Whitfield]

Awesome, that was helpful...except that now I get

Usage: ./winetricks.sh [options] package [package] ...
This script can help you prepare your system for Windows applications
that mistakenly assume all users' systems have all the needed
redistributable runtime libraries or fonts.
Some options require the Linux 'cabextract' program.

Options:
 -q         quiet.  You must have already agreed to the EULAs.
 -v         Verbose

 msxml3     (Note: install a bit squidgy; see
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7849)

 pdh        Install pdh.dll (Performance Data Helper)
 tahoma     Install MS Tahoma font (not part of corefonts)
 vbvm50     Visual Basic 5 runtime
 vbrun60    Visual Basic 6 runtime

Pseudopackages:

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy.  I know what to do with the -q and the -v, but
I don't understand what all this other stuff is.  Thanks!
